I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 548 +25 BONUS Steven didn't alert anyone about this . He quietly arranged for a car and personally took Cynthia to a psychiatric hospital . The psychiatrist that Maverick had brought yesterday pretended to check her physical health , but actually spent a long time talking with her . The doctor concluded that Cynthia was suffering from a severe psychological disorder . It seemed that she was trapped in her own pain and unable to pull herself out of it . For now , it was still manageable as she hadn't shown any self - harming behavior .

However , Steven feared that it would only get worse and that one day , she might hurt George . So after a long night of reflection , he made up his mind . Naturally , he couldn't send her to a hospital in the center of Draventh . There were too many people . News of this kind could never be allowed to spread . After all , George was engaged to Rhea . If anyone were to hear about this , it would bring trouble to both of them . So Steven chose a more secluded hospital , known for its quiet environment . At least Cynthia would be comfortable there .

Sylvia was at the hospital that day to collect her medical records and prescriptions and to pack up the rest of her belongings . Jackson and Sawyer had decided that she would live outside of the hospital for now , with several doctors assigned to stay with her . Sylvia wanted to get better . After two days of consideration , she finally agreed . As she walked out after chatting with Madison , she ran into a new group of people . One glance was enough to tell that they were wealthy . Among them sat a well - dressed middle - aged woman . Her face was pale and tense despite her elegant clothes .

" I told you I'm not sick , " Cynthia said through gritted teeth , holding back her anger . " I'm perfectly fine . Are you trying to drive me to my grave ? " How could she accept this ? She believed that she wasn't sick and was perfectly normal . She just couldn't let go of Gerard , and she was angry that his death had some indirect connection to George . Worse , the Snider men were all siding with an outsider . What did that make her ? What were all these years of her efforts worth ? Steven said nothing .

He simply instructed the hospital to start the admission process and discuss a treatment plan . Chapter 548 +25 BONUS Sylvia had seen this scene countless times before . " You can't admit me ! " Cynthia grabbed Steven's arm . " Just because I don't like Rhea and I'd rather have Kate as my daughter - in - law , that makes me wrong ? Why can't I have my own opinion ? Why can't the Pearsons be my in -laws ? " The Pearsons ... Sylvia froze in place . That surname ... Pain shot through her eyes , making her catch her breath . " Ms. Burton ? " The nurse beside her rushed to steady her .

Sylvia tried her best not to think about it , but the trauma ran too deep . Even when she forced herself to put it out of her mind , the pain came back just as vividly . Cynthia turned around just in time to see a slender young woman being hurriedly escorted into a room by several medical staff . Just as she was arguing with Steven , a sudden cry of alarm rang out . " Ms. Burton ! Hold her down ! Take the glass away from her ! " The commotion must have been too loud , as it disturbed the nearby patients .

Some were mumbling incoherently , others clapping and laughing , some crying hysterically , and a few even cheering , egging the young woman on to end her life . The chaotic sounds crashed into Cynthia's mind , scaring her so much that she stumbled back a few steps . She thought that these people were all lunatics . All of them . She didn't want to stay here . She was normal ! Steven saw the terror in her eyes . Although his heart ached , he steeled himself and signed the papers . " Steven , take me home , please . I don't want to stay here .

I'll just stop caring about George's marriage , okay ? " Cynthia's body trembled . He looked away , afraid that he would falter if he met her gaze . Seeing that , Madison immediately ordered the staff to take Cynthia away . However , Cynthia struggled violently . She didn't scream or curse ; she just kept reaching out to Steven for help . Yet , he never turned back . Heartbroken , Cynthia was taken into a room . She looked up at Madison with tears brimming in her eyes . " I'm not sick . I can walk , talk , and take care of myself just fine . I haven't hurt myself or anyone else .
